On Angie‘s born day today, Esco visited Hot 97’s rush hour drive. He discussed his NYE show, his 4 Grammy nods and making amends with Kelis. He also weighs in on CNN awarding him as the best lyricist of all time and mentions he’s already working on his next album. Yup, life is still good.

Juelz ain’t the only Diplomat with new music. Premiered by DJ Self on Power 105, Killa Cam lives up to his moniker over a Meek Mill sample.

Juelz continues to welcome himself back in the game. And tonight, he gives Flex the okie doke to premiere his latest offering. God Will’n drops January 14. Listen to his interview here.

Although Donald Glover isn’t shown, it looks like we get a few random nights in Lower East Side from his P.O.V. Dope song. Doper visuals.

Better dress warm. Showing off his pizazz, Machine Gun Kelly takes the cover of YRB magazine’s upcoming winter issue. Below is the visual to his new track featuring a gang of Cleveland upstarts.

Compton’s veteran released his Keep It Hood EP last Friday. For the fifth track, he shows his true colors over Brenk Sinatra’s production and scratches by DJ Premier. This gets a stamp of approval.

We knew this was serious from the start when Sean Combs talked his shit all over the glorious “Holy Ghost”. The Teflon Don showed his true aggressiveness on “High Definition”, “MMG Untouchable” and “Yellow Diamonds”. But a major part of Mr. Roberts’ success is his ability to bring […]

High Times’ annual Cannabis Cup went down in Amsterdam last November and Styles P, N.O.R.E., Ghostface Killah, and Scram Jones all made the trek. If you couldn’t get pass customs, here’s film from their adventure. We’re getting high just watching this.

Although the critically-acclaimed, Nostalgia, Ultra was never released commercially, Francis Ocean made up for it with his major label debut, channel ORANGE. Embodied by a wide variety of music genres including neo-soul (“Sweet Life”), a touch of pop (“Lost”) and a splash of electro-funk (“Monks”), Mr. Ocean pulls off a fully realized work of art.
